GoviEx Securityholders Approve Arrangement with Tombador Iron Limited

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 24, 2025) - GoviEx Uranium Inc. (TSXV: GXU) (OTCQB: GVXXF) ("GoviEx" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, at its special meeting (the "Meeting") of shareholders, warrantholders, and optionholders (collectively, the "GoviEx Securityholders") held on October 24, 2025, GoviEx Securityholders overwhelmingly approved the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") involving GoviEx and Tombador Iron Limited (ASX: TI1) ("Tombador").

Under the Arrangement, Tombador will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Class A common shares of GoviEx by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), resulting in the formation of Atomic Eagle Ltd., an ASX-listed uranium player with a strengthened balance sheet with a clear mandate to advance and enhance the Muntanga Project in Zambia.

The special resolution approving the Arrangement (the "Arrangement Resolution") required approval from (i) at least 66⅔% of the votes cast by GoviEx shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, and (ii) at least 66⅔% of the votes cast by GoviEx Securityholders, voting together as a class, present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Approximately 98.7% of the votes cast by GoviEx shareholders at the Meeting were in favour of the Arrangement Resolution and approximately 99.2% of the votes cast by GoviEx Securityholders at the Meeting were in favour of the Arrangement Resolution, thereby satisfying all requisite GoviEx shareholder and GoviEx Securityholder approval requirements.

GoviEx also notes that, at a general meeting held on October 8, 2025, Tombador shareholders passed, by the requisite majorities, the resolutions relating to the Transaction, including the issuance of consideration shares to GoviEx shareholders and replacement options to GoviEx optionholders and warrantholders, and the change of name to Atomic Eagle Ltd.

GoviEx intends to seek a final order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the Arrangement at a hearing expected to be held on November 5, 2025. Subject to receipt of the final court order, regulatory approvals, and satisfaction of other customary conditions, closing of the Arrangement remains targeted for mid November 2025.

Further details regarding the Arrangement are provided in GoviEx's management information circular dated September 10, 2025, which is available under GoviEx's issuer profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Such assumptions, which may prove incorrect, include the following: (i) that GoviEx will obtain or satisfy, in a timely manner or otherwise, required regulatory approval, court approval and other conditions to the closing of the Transaction; (ii) Tombador will be able to satisfy ASX requirements for re-admission to the Official List on the ASX; (iii) the ability of GoviEx and Tombador to complete the Transaction on the terms described herein or at all; the successful completion of the concurrent capital raising by Tombador; the plans and strategies of GoviEx and Tombador; the future performance of Atomic Eagle Ltd; and (iv) that the current uranium upcycle will continue and expand; (v) that the integration of nuclear power into power grids worldwide will continue as a clean energy alternative; and (vi) that the price of uranium will remain sufficiently high and the costs of advancing GoviEx's mining projects will remain sufficiently low so as to permit GoviEx to implement its business plans in a profitable manner. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include: (i) the possibility that each of the concurrent capital raising and/or the Transaction will not be completed on the terms and conditions, or on the timing, currently contemplated, and that either may not be completed at all, due to a failure to obtain or satisfy, in a timely manner or otherwise, required regulatory approval, court approval and other conditions to the closing of the concurrent capital raising, re-admission to the Official List or the Transaction generally, as applicable, or for other reasons; (ii) the failure to realize the expected benefits of the Transaction;(ii) the inability of the Company to conduct its planned exploration program for any reason; (iii) the inability of the Company to raise financing for Muntanga for any reason; (iv) a regression in the uranium market price; (v) an inability or unwillingness to include or increase nuclear power generation by major markets; (vi) potential delays due to new or ongoing health or environmental restrictions; (vii) the failure of GoviEx's projects, for technical, logistical, labour-relations, political, or other reasons; (viii) a decrease in the price of uranium below what is necessary to sustain GoviEx's operations; (ix) an increase in GoviEx's operating costs above what is necessary to sustain its operations; (x) accidents, labour disputes, or the materialization of similar risks; (xi) a deterioration in capital market conditions that prevents GoviEx from raising the funds it requires on a timely basis; (xii) political instability in the jurisdictions where GoviEx operates; and (xiii) generally, GoviEx's inability to develop and implement a successful business plan for any reason.
